Using the Guide

Creating a New File

This guide is a collection of Markdown files. This is a plaintext format that easily converts to HTML. Read more about it here. Be sure you name your files without spaces with either an .md or .markdown extension.

The files in this guide are prefixed with a double digit to set order. Make sure your file starts with a number that will place your new content in the desired position (eg: 04-) and change the prefixes of the other files to reflect this change in order.

Markdown

Markdown is handy because you can write your content without HTML tags. Here are some tips to help you control the layout of your text.

Line Breaks

If you want a line to break to the next line but don’t want to start a new paragraph, end the line with two spaces. This will render a <br> tag.

Widows

The best way to prevent widows is to type &nbsp; in the space between the last two words in a title or paragraph.
